Trade your broomstick for roller skates this Halloween season. Oaks Park Roller Rink is hosting a spooky night of skating, gothic music and themed activities, all for $13 per person.
Portland’s historic roller rink has been welcoming skaters since 1906. This October, it’s embracing the darker side of the season with a special all-ages event featuring guest DJs, trivia, photo opportunities and skating games.
Here’s how to celebrate Halloween on wheels at Oaks Park.
